Answer to Question 2

C
Children from households well below the poverty level and those from large families are many times more likely to be abused than are children whose family incomes are at or just above poverty and who are in single child families. The NIS-3 reported that children from extremely poor homes are 18 times more likely to be sexually abused than children from privileged homes. These children are also 60 times more likely to die from child abuse.
